There are a number of family-friendly cafes in Berlin and they can come in handy throughout the year, especially in the colder months when you need an alternative indoor space for your baby or toddler to play. Here's a review of Kiezkind in Prenzlauer Berg.

One of the major pluses of Kiezkind in Prenzlauer Berg is that it offers both indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoors you'll find a sandpit (yes, really) which has a number of toys and wooden benchseating around the edges for the parents to sit on and drink their warm drinks. The outdoor space is made up of a section of seating, a grass area with a small slide on one side, another grass area on the other side and sand on the floor directly surrounding the cafe and through the seating area.

There are also a number of toys outside to find, such a Bobby Cars and Tricycles for the children to ride on and there are spaces for parents to park their strollers.

One thing to keep in mind with the outdoor space, is that is very open, so, if you have a child that is very mobile and likes to walk or drive away, it isn't always simple to hold a conversation or stay in one place and keep sight of your child. For those with less mobile children, this isn't such a problem though and this parent-child cafe is often frequented by many parents in the area and visiting. On the day I went, it was incredibly busy, so I could only get so many photographs that didn't include details of other people's children (which I don't publish).

The cafe serves a small selection of food, such as sandwiches that can be toasted, cake and some fresh fruit, as well as hot and cold drinks. The prices are pretty standard for the area. There is a baby changing table in the toilet (which is unisex, so both mums and dads can use it), but there is only one toilet, so there can be a wait at busy times.
